Thanks JB!
I wish that I had more for ya, but that's all I could get a shot of before they threw me out!

Hi Mark

Superb shot gosh I can still smell the warm plastic and smell the release agent.

Knowing "Mr. Smith", he works in the factory! :-)

I still say that's not his real name. But what do I know. I'm from Louisiana where the dead vote and the prisoners get to vote twice for the sheriff. :-)

Hi Gunny,

Make a nice Christmas present :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) .

While you were down that way you didn't by change see an accessories set, small rowing boat, salvage boat or small LCT :-) :-) :-) :-) .

Alternatively a British MTB (dream on). I have to say I've been drooling over those small LCTs with the bridge and mast LOL, LOL.

This will make a great adddition to their 1/35 range and I have the first board I got for Pier 51 awaiting something nice to fill it LOL, LOL. There was a squadron of these based in British home waters around early/mid 44 LOL, LOL.

More opportunities for U models.

Just dreaming about next year, and I do have those 20mm cannon to find a home for and a set of the Turmpeter .50 cals :-) :-) :-)

Nice to see it's almost here.

Cheers

Al

Well, my drivers liscense says Mark R. Smith (or is it Jones?) :-)

And wouldn't it be an absolute gas to be a modeler and to work in the factory! Man, I would carry the worlds largest lunchbox (for smuggling out all of the new releases!!! LOL)
